NutriGold Turmeric Curcumin Gold 500 mg
Brand: NutriGold · Form: CAPSULE [E0159]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that while calcium is essential for health, the specific product NutriGold Turmeric Curcumin Gold 500 mg does not list calcium as an ingredient. Data for this product’s specific effects is not available. For general calcium supplementation, our assessment is that it is a well-established mineral for bone health, but you must be cautious with dosing and potential interactions [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural foundation for your bones and a key signaling molecule for your nerves and muscles. It supports bone density through mineralization and helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA has received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from high levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the specific NutriGold product does not contain calcium, our recommendation is to verify your supplement’s ingredient list. If you are taking calcium separately, do not exceed the RDA without medical supervision. Also, be aware that calcium can reduce the absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
